In their own words
SignCut Pro 2
SignCut Pro 2 is production software for sign-making with vinyl cutters, engraving machines, laser cutters, and related equipment. It runs on Windows and macOS and states compatibility with more than 1,200 cutting-plotter models. For print-and-cut work, it can detect registration marks and contour cut printed materials. Tiling divides designs wider than the material into manual or automatic sections, while BoxMaker lets users choose a box shape, adjust dimensions, and send it to a plotter. Object Manager controls cutting order, speed, pressure, perforation, laps, and tool selection for objects or colors. Export plugins transfer artwork from Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, and Inkscape. The software is available in 20 languages. A downloaded installation activates an account with three weeks of use. Plans are billed non-recurring by the month: Student and Home costs $19 a month, Standard $24 a month, and Premium $34 a month. Width limits and computer transfers vary by edition, and SignCut Spooler is included only with Premium.
